Case Study: GULF Companies achieves 10% reduction in estimating man-hours, standardization, and improved productivity with Contruent

Standardization, Improved Productivity, and 10% Reduction in Estimating Man-hours

GULF Companies, a global provider of pipeline project management, engineering and construction services, was hindered by disparate Microsoft Excel workbooks for capital cost estimating that lacked validation, quality control, and standardization. To solve these issues, GULF Companies turned to Contruent and its estimating software to provide centralized controls, standardized setups, and improved data management.

Contruent implemented its estimating capabilities — including forecasting, shared estimator access, 2D/3D/BIM takeoff, and standardized reporting — enabling automated validation, consistent templates, and better tracking of deliverables and effort. With Contruent, GULF Companies achieved standardized setup and reporting, increased productivity on large multi‑facility projects, and realized a measurable ~10% reduction in estimating man‑hours.
